how i turned my wild crabapple into the star of my yard—should you try this?

Last spring, my crabapple tree looked like a tangled mess. I used to just let it do its thing, but the branches started blocking my window. So, I grabbed my pruners and got to work. I started by cutting away any dead or crossing branches. It felt weird at first, but the more I trimmed, the better it looked. I made sure to keep the center open for sunlight. By summer, the tree was covered in blossoms and I could actually see out my window again. Now, every time I walk by, I feel proud. Pruning isn’t scary—it’s like giving your tree a fresh haircut. My crabapple is happier, and so am I. #gardeningtips #crabappletree #pruning #backyardbliss #Gardening
